BULLETIN NO. 10.

Early in June Of the present year,
three samples of molasses were sent TO
the Station by merchant doing bust
ness 10 Maine. with the reques, bat
they be examined for the presence Of
tin Tin was found in sprreciabls
quantity in two Of the three samples.
Later Eve more samples Of molasses
have been collected in this State. in
four Of which tin was found. This in
dicates that tin exists in molasses quite
generally at the present time. The
claim 10 made that tin is introduced
into mola asses in the form Of the chlor.
ide (muriate), the object Of its use be-
ing TO tighten the color Of the molasses
and thus improve its appearance. 1t is
also stated that rortiou or all Of the tin
thus introduced separates from the mo-
lasses, the completeness Of this sep
aration varying greatly in different
cases, without doubt. Taat which
remains 10 solution does not seem
to be enough to pi oduce immediate poi
sonous effects, although it is possible
tiiAl tbc couhiuuOus piSseHtr v. IN III uu-
man food might prove to be injurious
to the health. Three grains OF chlori de
Of tin are a sufficient quantity t. act
violently upon the organs Of digestion,
hui even it We were sure that all 4 4 TN
ia moasses remains in he form Of
the chloride. a person would be obliged
to eat q large quantity OF molasSes at
Que time in order to poison himself.
Attic :, me time ii j. uni0ub eily sa-
fer aud wiser to ca; molasscs free from
tin and SO it is considered that the
presence of this metal ia one of our
common articles OF food is a matter Of
some pubic interest.
The sugar Of molasses consists Of two
forms, at least, viz. spccose. or the
ordinary GRADUATED sugar and glucose a
difficulty crystallizablc sugar not near
lv as sweet as sucrose. The sweetcn-
ing power of molasses i diminished by
increasing the glucose at The expense OF
the snrro-e. which would be the CASE

BERLIN, Dec. 3.-The official and diplo-
matte circles III Berlin were absorbed in
o-day's development at Paris, but public
interest was not at all strained. An I'M
ceasing stream of kilograms poured into
the foreign Office, and the details of the
voting at Versailles were sent with
out delay to Friedrichsruhe. The cleo
ton of Sadi-CarnotS is better received
in official circles than would have been
that of DeFreycinet or Ferry. The new
president is considered to be feeble
man and one who would be unwilling to
consent to complications which might
bring about European war. IT
is also believed that he will be
unable to make alliances against Ger
many. His personal preferences are for
a neutral, pacific policy and he will try to
govern through the ministry with the
same tendencies. kilograms received
here from the German embassy at Paris
record the gratifying fact that, though
it was considered necessary to guard
the approaches to the embassy, every
thing was peaceful during the excite
ment. There was an utter absence of any
anti German demonstration, and the eff
forts of De Roulede and others to pro-
woke patriotic ebullition found no re-
sponses, is raising the hopes of a prolong-

Smuggling on the Border.
San Francisco Call

az was recently down at Nogales, which
as you perhaps know, is on the boundar y
line between Arizona and Mexico, and
saw good deal of funny business going
on round there, you bet!"
The speaker was Capt. Sam Brannan.
A reporter, seeming a story, naturally
expressed the greatest curiosity.
"Well, he resumed, for the old man
dearly loves an apprecia.ive listener"
the only railroad directly through the
countries runs through Nogales. Now,
Nogales is only q little place, with about
six hundred inhabitants: and yet it man
ages to support six restaurants. That
struck M as strange, more especially as
the viands provided are always fresh and
good. And these restaurants were always
crowded with Cinnamon at that. 1t takes
and old haxd to spot one pig-tail from
another, but can do that every time.
got to hanging around the depot, but
nary Chinaman arrived over the border,
and yet, the next morning, there were
new faces of Mongolian caste in the res
taurants-sure enough.
"Well, 1 knew there was something
wrong, and at last 1 found out what it
was. 1 found that Cinnamon wishing to
pass into the United States arranged to
be put off the cars few miles on the
Mexican side, and thence were conducted
by roundabout routes to the American
half of the city. The guides are men
who make business of the occupation.
Smuggling opium is carried on in the
same way. The duty on the American
side is SO pound, and OF the Mexican
side it is only 81. Snugglers generally
pay the 81 and then smuggle the STUFF
over the line at nightfall concealed about
their persons. The two patrol systems
that are maintained, one on each side of
the boundary, are altogether Intellectual,
and the authorities do not eeem to care
much. The same applies to Mexican to-
becco and cigars.
"When the San Frauciscans are so care
full about guarding the front Golden gate,
they ought to have an eye for the side.
Do you not think sO!"
